The Pursuit Of Happiness – The Downward Road lyrics

Well, as it happens, the talks have broken down
I don't know where her head's at, but her body's still around
It's tiptoe, egg shells, don't step on the cracks
When she walks out the door is she ever coming back
It gets so quiet, it gets so still
You wish she'd break something, but you know she never will
If it's true that the eyes are the mirror of the soul
Then hers is hard and cold and completely in control of yours
Hey, hey, it's so empty inside
Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified
Hey, hey, that's the second time you've cried
Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified
She looks at your face and sees you're thirsty for a shake
So she slithers over you like a cool smooth snake
It's sound and fury, that ends without a kiss
And you know down deep you can't live without this
There's nothing for her, she gets you off and goes to work
Leaves you panting in bed, feeling like a jerk
You put on your glasses, haul up your ass
and take a walk to the corner saloon (you buffoon)
Hey, hey, it's so empty inside
Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified
Hey, hey, that's the third time you've cried
Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified
You can sleep till noon, you can drink out of her shoe
Run your fingers through her clothes, spray yourself with her perfume
And you'll never know, never know, man I never know
What to do, what I do to make you come unglued
Hey, hey, it's so empty inside
Hey, hey, she leaves me terrified
Hey, hey, that's the fourth time I cried
Hey, hey, she leaves me terrified
